DECALCIFYING
Under normal conditions
you do not need to decal-
cify your
"ILCafre Grande".
However, in areas where
there is hard water or if
used very frequently, we
recommend decalcifying,
especially if white deposits
can be seen in boiler cham-
ber. Decalcifier is widely
available and can be
purchased from KRUPS
Consumer Service Depart-
ment.
How To Decalcify
Please follow the procedure
listed below to decalcify
your machine:
. Turn machine "off' and
unplug the appliance.
Allow it to cool before
decalcifying.
. Remove filter holder,
glass carafe,and over-
,flowgrid from the
machine.
. Turn machine,comple-
tely upside down. With a
flat blade screw driver,
remove the brewing
head sieve by turning it
clockwise until the sieve
can be removed from the
machine (see figure 17).
. Turn machine upright
again and reinsert over-
flow grid into place.
. Dissolve the decalcifying
agent into 4 cups of
water. Pourthis solution
into the boiler container
and secure the boiler
cap.
. Place the glass carafe
without the lid under-
neath the brewing head.
. Turnthe machine to the
" lr positionsothat
the solution will pass
through the water heat-
ing system into the glass
carafe.
. Allow the machine to
cool down after each
application.
. Repeat the above pro-
cess using clean, cold
water to remove allthe
remaining solution in the
